Taiwan Scimitar-Babbler
Pomatorhinus musicus Swinhoe, R 1859
The Taiwan scimitar babbler is a bird in the family Timaliidae, the Old World babblers. It is endemic to Taiwan. The species was first described by Robert Swinhoe in 1859. It was formerly treated as a subspecies of the streak-breasted scimitar babbler. Its population is declining, but not rapidly enough for it to be considered vulnerable. Source: Wikipedia
